     Family Directory:  Plans are being for a family pictorial directory that would contain family portraits of as many parishioners as possible.  In fact, the more pictures taken means more pages available for parish history photos of groups and organizations.  There is no obligation to purchase any pictures.  Any family who has a picture taken will receive a free copy of the directory.  However, you will have the opportunity consider simple or extravagant setting as you prefer.  Families will sign for a preferred day and time on Sundays - January 7 and 14.  Pictures will be taken the week of February 7-14.  Family Directories have arrived and may be picked up at the Rectory Office.  If you didn't have a picture taken and are interesred in a copy of the directory, please leave your name and phone number at the rectory.  

    Our Lady of Knock Throw:  Although previously oders have been supplied, there is some interest in asking for another supply.  We need to have at least 35 deposits of $25. for us to place such an order.  We have about half that number.  If you are interested, please call the rectory.
